BEVERLY, KY, Feb. 19.-Mrs. Geo
Major is visiting friends in your city
Miss Rebecca Dillman, one ofChris
tian couniy's fairesl bellies, is visiting
friends in this vicinity.
Mr.. Il. ID. Jones, who has the repu-
tation of being the most successful
tobacco grower in South Christian,
sold several hogsheads of tobacco on
the Hopkinsville market, last week,
at an average of 81 cents per pound.
M. L. Ham has leased the residence
and large store-h house belonging to
Mrs. V. j. Metcalf. lie is having the
store-house repaired and painted,
which will add greatly TO the appear
ance of our little village.
The residence of Mr.. Ed. Stegar
took fire from defective flue one
night this week, and came very near
being totally destroyed. Damages
about $500, fully covered by insur-
ance.
lion. James Davie denies being on
the Republican committee, and asks
us TO correct the report. 1t is col
ored James Davie whose honor it is
10 be on the Republican committee
from this precinct.
A very respectable colored man by
the name of Beverly Fleming informs
us that he had tobacco in Clarks-
vile warehouse, and that when he
went TO see it sold he was lead to the
door like an OK aud roughly informed
that "niggers" were not allowed in
there. Whether this be true or not,
il is nevertheless going the rounds
among the colored folks and causing
much indignation among them. Col
ored folks have as good right TO see
their products sold as the whites, and
we cannot blame them for resenting
this base insult. Go take your tobac-
co to Hopkinsvile and we will guar
amtee that you will not be treated
like oxen when you 90 to see it cold.
Oil that prospective bridel Have
you seen her? We have, and she is
a perfect blonde, possessed ofwit and
beauty more murderously fatal than
the assassin's built or the poisoned
arrow of savage African. The
groom to be is none of your will-0'-
the-wish sort, but a matter-of-fact,
sober and industrious gentleman with
almighty love reigning and reveling
in his bosom. This wedding will not
come off for some weeks, but we will
continue 10 give pointers occasionally.
There are divers opinions as to who
these parties are, but everybody re-
mains in the dark so far. So guess
again, and probably will give names
next week.

wrought with gold and silver threads.
The bodice and train are of dark moss

is trimmed with cascades of VenG-

sembled were composed of our best
people, and from your city their came,

of the beauty and accomplishments
for which Hopkinsville has so long
been noted. To wit: Miss Kate
